migrate Apache OFBiz from Apache Derby to mysql

Question

I am using ofbiz in my organization. I want to migrate ofbiz from derby to MySQL.
I refer the steps from (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/How+to+migrate+OfBiz+from+Derby+to+MySQL+database) here, but at the i got stuck at the end.
At the end when I type (java -jar ofbiz.jar -install) this command I am getting an exception,

C:\Users\sagar_vinod_khanke\Sagar\Apache OFBiz\Ofbiz\13.07>java -jar ofbiz.jar - install

Exception in thread "main" org.ofbiz.base.start.StartupException: Couldn't not f etch config instance

    at org.ofbiz.base.start.Start.init(Start.java:202)
    at org.ofbiz.base.start.Start.main(Start.java:127)

don't use - with install. See revised Step-V

Step-V

1. Run the following command from command prompt:
java -jar ofbiz.jar install
2. Start OfBiz
3. Use webtools to import all data from XML:
a. Navigate to http://localhost:8080/catalog/
b. Go to Applications>WebTools
c. Go to section 'Entity XML Tools' and click the link 'XML Data Import Dir' -> In the 'Absolute directory path:' enter the full path of the directory where you exported the data in Step - II
